This is a vintage 1959 to 1962 Gemeinhardt model M2 flute made in Elkhart IN. The serial number is 27259 with its original case. The model M2 was Gemeinhardt’s classic American made student model, the predecessor to the modern 2SP, known for its sturdy craftsmanship, reliable intonation, and durable key mechanism.

The flute shows normal vintage wear and has some light surface tarnish consistent with a 60 +year-old instrument. There are no small dings that I can tell, and certainly no major dents on the instrument.

This is a vintage instrument. It has not been recently serviced by a technician. It is being sold as is. All the pads seem to move freely and spring back. The pads themselves seem to be in good shape. This includes the original hard case, which has one latch that works well and one that is tired, but still latches. The interior lining is intact with typical age wear..

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. It will ship securely packed in its hard case and please review the photos closely to inspect the engraving, the pads, and the vintage silver finish.
